Connect Logistics Services (CLS) provides third-party warehousing and beverage distribution services and is solely responsible for the warehousing and distribution of spirits, wine, coolers, and imported beer in Alberta, Canada.

CLS was founded in 1994 when the Canadian province of

Alberta privatized its liquor distribution and warehouse system. Since then, CLS has served the Gaming and Liquor Commission, supplying spirits, wines and beers to 1,500 retail outlets throughout the province. The company is a subsidiary of internationally acclaimed Tibbett and Britten Group Americas (TBGA), a $2 billion company dedicated to providing physical distribution, logistics and associated services. True to its lineage, CLS upholds the highest performance standards and strives to be a model in the third-party logistics (3PL) business. That’s why CLS put voice technology to work.
